The Island

by Alice Ward

  “With that?” I asked, wrinkling my nose.

  “This is used at spas all over New York.” He nodded with enthusiasm. “Strip and jump into the water.”

  “Um, I think I’ll leave on my bra and panties.” I pulled off the t-shirt he’d given me to wear and dropped my jeans, stepping out of my flats.

  He pulled off his shirt and shorts, then kicked off his sneakers. When he dropped his underwear, I couldn’t take my eyes off what was between his legs.

  “Fuck,” I mumbled. My insides heated up and my personal pleasure zone went wet as I looked at his thick cock.

  His movements were sudden. With lightning speed, he unhooked my bra, taking it off me. I wiggled and slapped at his fast-moving hands, but he kept going and my panties were off in no time too. Neither of us wore anything more than a smile as he picked me up and jumped into the icy cold water.

  There was no anger at what he’d done. Instead, there was elation. I felt free with a side of frisky. We were having fun, finally!

  The water was deeper than it looked, we soon found out as we went under. When we came up, I was sputtering, and he was still smiling. I held tightly to his neck and shivered as he kicked his feet, moving closer to one side of the pond. Soon, he touched the rocky bottom and stood with me still in his arms.

  “Welcome to your bathtub, drinking water, and center of your new home, Kendra.” He pecked my cheek as I looked around.

  It was beautiful. Lush trees grew all around the pool. Birds flew around, and when a splash of water was heard, we turned our heads toward it and both muttered, “Fish.”

  Everything around me was gorgeous. Including the man who’d found it all. The man I was alone with. The man I never thought in a million years I could trust with anything. But I had no other choice. Oddly enough, I was happy about that.

  Eli reached the edge of the pool and picked some more of the aloe and pulled it open. He turned me around, and I held onto the mossy bank as he ran the slimy stuff over the cuts on my back. “This will help heal them.” Then he ran his hands through my hair, massaging the gel into it, making me groan with the pleasure of his fingertips on my scalp. When he was done, he picked me up and laid me back to rinse my hair out.

  I watched his blue eyes sparkle as he took care of me, and my heart fluttered in my chest. He was different. He’d changed. Maybe it was the near-death experience. Maybe it was the seclusion. Maybe it was temporary, and he’d turn back to the old him if we were rescued. But at that moment, I didn’t care what it was. I just cared about how right it all felt.

  “If I have to be stranded on a deserted island, I’m glad it’s with you,” I told him as I ran my hand through the dark waves of his thick hair.

  He seemed genuinely surprised. “Really?”

  “Yes,” I said, then did what I was desperate to do. I kissed him.

  He took my mouth over, the way he’d done every time we kissed. I wrapped my legs around his waist and found his erection even though the water was ice cold. He pressed it against my throbbing core, making both of us moan.

  Everything I’d held back was breaking free. His every featherlight touch on my skin sent electricity zigzagging through me. The water was cold, but I was red hot.

  His warm lips left mine and pressed against my neck. I went limp in his arms. “Eli…”

  The way his tongue and teeth worshipped my flesh sent my thoughts to another place. A place where he and I might be alone on the island forever. Why not forget about how things were back in New York? He was mine, no other woman was around.

  And his cock was pressed against my aching pussy. His mouth moved across my neck as he took the back of my head in his hand and kissed me hard as he ground his cock against me, making my body beg for more.

  My breasts were squished against his broad chest, and his other hand moved to grip my ass. I was left quivering, and he patiently waited for me to tell him how far I was willing to go.

  Would I let him?

  He pulled my hair, making our mouths part. Then ran his tongue down the front of my throat as he made small humping motions at our juncture. “Do you want me, Kendra?”

  “Yes,” came out of my mouth before my brain had time to stop it.

  He moved his cock to the edge of my folds that were eagerly waiting for it. “You want me to fuck you, baby?”

  “God, yes,” I moaned as he kept my head pulled back. The way he pulled my hair had me going crazy to see how else he’d handle my body.

  Eli wasn’t about to give me any control. I knew it, and I suddenly craved it so badly that I didn’t give a shit what happened afterward. I wanted him!

  “I’ll fuck you,” he purred and bit the side of my neck, then my earlobe, making me shudder with desire. “But this means I’ll fuck you anytime I want to. You’ll be mine. Do you understand me, Kendra? You and I will fuck whenever I want you.”

  I was shaking with need. I’d be his. His little love slave. A thing I told him I’d never be. But here I was, craving to be his in every way.

  “Eli?” I asked as he pulled my hair a little harder.

  “Yes, baby?”

  “Do you really want me like that? Do you want me to be yours?”

  “I do,” he said, then kissed my lips. “Do you want that?”

  Our eyes met, and I found his darker than usual. Lust filled them. My mind went silent, and my body took over. “I want to be yours, Eli Reed.”

  With a growl that would rival that of a hungry lion, Eli thrust into me, his thick cock stretching me wide. I cried out as painful pleasure coursed through me. “Fuck, you’re tight as hell, baby,” he said between clenched teeth. “Your pussy has been waiting for me.”

  I had been waiting for the right man to take my virginity. A piece of myself my father told me was my gift to give the man I loved, and for no one else.

  Did I love Eli?

  I didn’t know that for sure, but I knew I was ripe for the taking and Eli was the man I wanted to take it.

  It wasn’t a lie when I moaned, “I’ve been waiting my whole life for you.”

  He was perfectly still, allowing my body to stretch to fit his long, thick cock. Easing his grip on my hair, he pulled my head up and looked at me as he began to move. My nails dug into his back as the pain shot through me once more. When he thrust into me again, he did it with a force that knocked the air out of my lungs in a good way.

  His mouth closed on mine, then he carried me out of the water and placed me on the mossy ground. The wounds hurt, but I didn’t care as he plunged into me. Over and over, he moved inside of me, making things feel like I’d never experienced before.

  My hands ran all over his muscled back the way I’d dreamt of. I moved my feet to run up and down the backs of his legs, relishing each movement they made. It was as if his entire body went into making love to me. I had no idea how powerful he’d feel as he took me, making me his.

  A sudden intensity began to build inside of me. “Eli…” I moaned as he kept up the fast and hard pace, my body tensing beneath his.

  Pulling his head up, he looked at me. “Do it, baby. I want to watch your face when I make you come.”

  The way he talked was intoxicating. He was dirty and fierce, and I loved it!

  I held his face between my palms as I let myself go entirely. Heat ran through me, followed by a wave of ecstasy, and I had to close my eyes as it took me over and I screamed his name.

  “Do it, baby,” he growled. “Give it all to me. I want it all. I want all of you.”

  The wave crashed, and I went to a place my fingers could never take me. So many sensations took me over — Eli’s weight on me, his skin moving on mine, his hot breath, and words of encouragement. Even the growls and sounds he made as our bodies slapped together, made me feel more than I knew was possible.

  Eli Reed took me to a place I’d never been before. And something vital in my life had changed. I never wanted to go to that place again, unless Eli was the one who took me there.

  CHAPTER
TWENTY FOUR

  Kendra

  My body was still tingling from the love we’d made that morning as I watched Eli try to find a bird that would be still long enough for him to grab it. I had my little homemade fishing pole with a grasshopper tied to the string, in hopes of catching a fish for our dinner. We were competing to see who could catch something first.

  My head was still buzzing even after walking all the way back to the shoreline and our original campsite to get all of our things. We made it back and set everything up in record time. I think it was due to how well we were working together. No bickering took up any of our time. A few kisses and some good spirited fondling took its place.

  We had another bath in the pond when we were done. Eli took me in the pond again too. It was so much less painful than the first time, and I was already craving more. But we had to eat first. The candy was gone, but there was plenty of wildlife around for us to munch on, we just had to get it.

  “Fuck it,” I heard Eli shout then the sound of a gun cracked the air. Whooping and hollering followed, then he appeared with a bird in his hand, coming my way.

  “You cheated!”

  “Sue me.” He tossed the limp bird on the ground next to the fire. “You do recall our bet, don’t you?”

  Pulling my pole out of the water, I laid it on the ground next to me and got up, dusting the dirt off my pants. “I do. Whoever wins gets to have the other do anything they want, sexually speaking. But you cheated. The whole point of this hunting and fishing thing is to figure out how to do it without the use of guns. We won’t have an endless supply of bullets.”

  His strong arms pulled me in, and I was putty in the man’s hands before I knew it. His breath was hot against my neck. “Well, we have a few right now, and the truth is I couldn’t wait to get my hands on you any longer. Since I won, you take off all your clothes and go lie on the blanket in the tent.”

  With only his touch and the sound of his voice, I was wet in the place I needed to be and hot in all the rest of my body. “Okay.”

  He let me go, and I stepped back then turned around to go to the privacy of our sheet-tent. “No, you undress right here. Right in front of me.”

  He was so bossy, and I hated it in every other aspect, sex not included. Eli Reed could boss me around where that was concerned. “Right here? Out in the open? What if…”

  He chuckled, and I blushed. “There’s no one around, baby.”

  Taking a deep breath, I pulled my shirt off, trying to be sexy. The shirt came off rather unceremoniously, so I tried a bit harder with my shorts to put on a bit of a show.

  Wiggling out of them, I let them drop in a pool at my feet then pushed my panties down too. Then I stood there waiting for him to tell me what to do next. He spun his finger in a circle, and even though I knew my face was turning red, I turned around. His wolf whistle met my ears, and I blushed even harder.

  “Into the tent and on your back.”

  I did as he directed and laid down, waiting to see what he had up his sleeve. This was supposed to be something for him. I was pretty sure he was going to teach me how to give a blow job. The thought made me nervous, but I was up for anything where he was concerned.

  That underlying agitation I’d felt since I met him was gone. Like magic, it had just disappeared. It made me mad at myself for not getting to the good stuff a lot earlier.

  My heart stopped when he pulled back the sheet that served as the door, and his eyes swept over me like a cat surveying his prey. “What are you—”

  He put his finger to his lips, and I went quiet. The expression he wore was primal. I was his, in every way imaginable. The way he made me feel was unbelievable. I wanted to give everything to him. My heart, body, even my soul. He made me that happy.

  He kneeled at my feet then ran one hand up my right leg. Slowly, he ran it back down then took my foot and moved it until my knee bent and my foot was planted on the ground. He did the same with my other leg, and I was already breathing raggedly with the thought of what he was about to do to me.

  My reaction pleased him, I could tell, as he wore the tiniest of grins. His hands moved up and down the insides of my thighs before he placed his palm on my mound. “Kendra, this is our home now. This is a place we will live and love. I want you to be happy.”

  “I want you to be happy too.” I bit my lower lip as I waited to see what was about to happen. My pulse was off the charts as excitement filled me.

  “Good.” He moved his hand up to my stomach. “I’ll always take care of you, no matter what happens. Do you understand me?”

  With a nod, I answered his question. I knew exactly what he was saying. If what we did made a baby, he’d be there for the baby and me, always. At that moment, I had complete faith in him.

  I earned a smile from him then he took one finger and ran it all the way up my body until he reached my breasts. I let out a startled yelp as he pinched my nipple. Hard. His eyes stayed on mine as he pinched me again before rolling the stinging flesh between his fingers.

  “See what I did there?”

  Looking at my swollen nipple, I nodded. “You made pain feel good.”

  “I did. And now I’m going to do the same thing for your clit.”

  A wave of anticipation rushed through me. “Oh,” I breathed out.

  After another long kiss to my lips, he kissed his way down my body. He left one peck on my hooded clit then his tongue went wide as he gave my entire pussy one long lick. I watched him as he licked me over and over then kissed my inner thighs. It was overwhelming how good it felt.

  He kissed his way back to my impatiently waiting folds then pointed his tongue, penetrating them and moving through them slowly. I fisted the blanket that was underneath me. It was a crazy mixture of sensuality and frustration that I was feeling. I wanted so much more, and I wanted it faster, but he wasn’t letting me have what I wanted.

  His intimate kiss was torturously slow, yet it was pulling my body into a realm of ecstasy it hadn’t been to yet. “Eli, God—”

  “Shhh.” The hot air he blew out on my clit made me moan it felt so good.

  He kissed my clit then played with it with his pointed tongue. A groan started in me that wouldn’t end. When I looked down and saw his dark hair, thick and inviting as his head bobbed up and down on me, I ran my hands through it.

  The way he looked between my legs had another surge of heat rushing through my body. He was all man, and all about me. It was overpowering. I couldn’t take my eyes off how he worked my flesh to give me pleasure I’d never known before.

  Desire flashed through me as a wave crested inside me. I was about to release everything for him. I arched up on my elbows and let my head loll back as it went light and fuzzy.

  I felt his hands move underneath me, gripping my ass and lifting me. His mouth went voracious on me, feasting on my soft flesh. The sounds I was making didn’t sound human. The way he was making me feel didn’t feel human, either.

  We could’ve been on another planet, in another world, place, or time. Everything stood still as my body let go and my moan went into a crescendo that was as high and loud as it was long.

  My insides were pulsing when he pulled his mouth away from me. And the look on his face was purely caveman. It was almost brutal, the way he licked around and over and in, before attacking my clit until I came. He didn’t let up though, continuing to suck on the swollen bundle of nerves until it was throbbing.

  I let out a cry at the loss of him when he got up, pulled off his t-shirt and shorts then flipped me over until I was on my hands and knees.

  I keened as he slammed into me. There was no tenderness, no gentleness, but I hadn’t asked for them. This was passion and desire, the complete loss of self. An immersion in the animalistic act of two bodies coming together.

  And I took it all. Every thrust of his thick cock stretching me wide, hitting me deep. Every dig of his fingers into my hips. Every groan of pleasure from both of us. Every wave of ecstasy that washed over me
.

  There was nothing but the two of us. Nothing else mattered but the way we made each other feel.

  “So tight,” he moaned, “So good. I’ve never felt so connected to anyone before.” He eased back a bit then slammed into me hard again. “Kendra, do you feel that?”

  “Yes! Yes! God, yes!”

  He moved faster, harder, and it only served to make me yearn for more. I wanted him to take me like an animal, and like he could read my mind, his hands were on my waist, holding me still as he went crazy on me.

  Loud groans came out of him with each thrust as I cried out in kind. It was fantastic, the orgasm was going on and on, but it still had more to go. Somehow, I could tell that.

  “Oh, baby, here I come!”

  He went stiff, his cock jerking inside of me as he let himself go. Our bodies quivered and quaked as the intensity subsided. He moved slowly, letting it all die down. Then we fell on the blanket on top of the hard ground where he cradled me in his arms and cooed into my ear, “I could get used to this.”

  Running my hand over his ever-thickening beard, I saw more than lust in those blue eyes. “I could too.”

  CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

  Eli

  The days came and went, and we were on our thirty-third day on what we called “our island” since we had no idea if it had an actual name or not. Our shelter had turned into a home with both of us finding things to enhance it. We’d weathered three storms in it and were happy with how well it all held up.

  And we shared in the chores equally.

  We both learned to fish and hunt. Both looked to cook and clean. Together we found plants and berries to add to our diet. Everything was great, or so I thought.

  I wasn’t missing a thing, but Kendra was. We’d taken a hike to see what we could find in a new direction when she took a seat on the branch of a tree that had grown close to the ground. “I need to rest for a minute.”

  I sat on a soft patch of grass beside her, pulling some of it and giving it a taste. “Lemony.”

  She looked at me with no expression on her face. It wasn’t like her. Kendra had become warm, loving, and compassionate due to our relationship that was blossoming like a well-watered flower. “It’s been thirty-three days, Eli. I’m getting worried that we need to get more into our diets. Well, me anyway.”
